| Location attribute in property not resolving correctly | Location attribute in property not resolving correctly 2006-09-26 - By Rebhan, Gilbert
Hi,
/*
I'd recommend to use <pathconvert> before the <echo>, rather than a
filter chain with <loadfile>. In fact, since you are not echo'ing out
a properties file it seems, you could even do the direct <echo> and
use <pathconvert> after the <loadfile> as well, because <loadfile> is
not affected with baskslash-based escape sequences. --DD
*/
yup, my example should have been
...
<echo
file="C:/cc_workdir/temp.order">orderfile=${order.candidate}</echo>
...
means echoing a propertyfile, that's where i stumbled upon that.
in a non property file this problem does not appear.
Could you give a short example where and how to apply the pathconvert
to that ?
<!-- Import AntContrib -->
<taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" />
<target name="depends">
<path id="mypath">
<fileset dir="Y:/bla">
<include name="*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<timestampselector property="targetfile" pathref="mypath"
count="1" age="eldest"/>
<echo
file="Y:/bla/foobar.properties">filepath=${targetfile}</echo>
</target>
<target name="main" depends="depends">
<propertyfile file="Y:/bla/foobar.properties" />
<echo>Targetfile === ${filepath}</echo>
</target>
Regards, Gilbert

Yes, that what I recommend as well.
